2 COTTON CLIMBS WITH CEREALS Petroleum, Iron, Steel Move to Higher Levels. BEEF CATTLE ARE SCARCE THE SUGAR WAR PROCEEDS WITH VIGOR, r AND THE PRICES ARE DEMORALIZED Most Manufacturing Lines Make Good Reports. Wool is Higher in London and S rong er Here. Lumber and Coal Show up Well. New York, Sept. 2. —Brad street's to morrow wil say: Satisfactory trade and price conditions apparently still reign. So few, in fact, are the reports of poor trade that fa vorable reports may be said tc be al most unanimous. An expanded to nne of fall trade is indicated by the aggre gate of bank clearings for the week, though reports from some markets point to the greatest rush being over. Prices as a rule maintain all their for mer strength, decreases being few and relatively unimportant. In several lines, notably cereals, cotton, petroleum, iron and steed, the tendency bus been toward higher levels. Cotton has lM*cn notably strong and active. Short crop estimates are becoming more generally current and bearish estimates of maximum yields have been practically discarded, more especially as it is claimed that agents of English spinners are heavy buyers at the South, and domestic man ufacturing conditions are known to be in a high degree favorable. Steady demand for export and confi dence in all of this year’s wheat crop being needed have proved stimulating in the face of heavy receipts and ad mittedly large supplies. Possi bility of war in the Transvaal, too, have been additionally strengthening fea tures. Iron and steel are higher on a moderate volume of new business and the steady placing of orders indicates confidence in present values well on into the middle of next year. Pig iron, however, is nearer a parity with con sumption, the ultimate effects of en hancing quotations upon demand is not yet settled and imports from abroad, while not likely to be of heavy volume immediately, are a feature which may have to 1m? dealt with next year. The scarcity of beef cattle is reflected in still higher prices, and strength is shown in domestic hides, which also feel the impetus of steady demand from manu facturers of leather. No sag ns of abate ment in the sugar war are to be seen, price cutting is active and prices are demoralized. Other groceries, however, are firm.as are most other lines, with the exception of cheese and tin, which note some easing in price from their recent advance. Most lines of manufacturing return strikingly good reports, notably in this respect Inang cotton and woolen goods. Complaints of backward deliv eries of cotton goods are common, while in woolen goods a number of mills report their order books filled for spring de livery and have withdrawn from the market. Wool is higher at Bondon and sympathetically stronger here, and ex pectations of a good export trade for fine grades of domestic are entertained. The coal trade reflects weather and trade conditions in still further improved demand, and predictions are of further advances later in the season. Demand for lumber, though interfering with by strikes at a number of markets, is re ported very strong, and scarcity of cars and of boats is reported quite gen erally in the west. This scarcity of transportation, however, is not limited to the lumber trade, similar reports com ing from the coal ami iron industries. Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 4,<530.7(55 bushels, against 4,530,352 bushels last week, 5,- 224,027 bushels in the corresponding week of 181)8, 5,708,825 bushels in 1897; Now and again you see two women passing down the street who look like sisters. You are astonished to learn that they are mother and daughter, and you realize that a woman at forty or forty five ought to be at her finest and fairest. Why isn’t it so?

Paris, Sept. 22.—The Aurore this morning publishes a letter written by M. Emile Zola to Mme. Dreyfus in which the writer rejoices at the former cap tain’s pardon, but says that it doubtless comes late, “It is revolting,” writes M. Zola, “to obtain pity when one asks for justice; and all seems to have been preconcerted in order to bring about this last iniquity. The judges, wishing to strike the inno cent in order to save the guilty, seek refuge in an act of horrible hypocrisy which they call mercy.” M. Zola expresses regret that the* Government trembled before the arro gance of a faction and adds: “ To think of trying to appease the l>eople by means of iniquity is the height of voluntary blindness. The only way to have saved France’s honor in the eyes of the world would have been to submit the case to the Court of Cassa tion; but our degradation is such that we are reduced to congratulating the Government for having shown itself merciful. “But this rehabilitation, which ought to have been, for the glory of the coun try, done immediately, yoilr husband may await with upheld head. We are going to continue the struggle. We are going to light for justice tomorrow as vigorously as yesterday. What we want is the rehabilitation of an inno cent man—less for him who has so much glory than for the rehabilitation of France.” THE MACON BOVS DRILLING. Macon, (la..

Two Brave Men Throw It Into The River- Fire at Coal Yards. New York, Sept. 22.—The kind bug wood and coal yard of Hecken and il lenbrock on East 93rd street, running from First avenue to the Bast river, was wholly destroyed by fire early today. The East River Mill and Lumber Com pany on the opposite side of tne strut and a frame building, two stories li’gn in the rear, were also destroyed. The sparks flew over to MdlcioeK uni Little Island in the East River, islands used by the Uiuted States Engineering corps for storing dynamite.

She Has a Practice Run and Makes a Good Showing. Greenport, \. Y., SepC 22. —The sub marine torpedo boat made,a remarkably good showing during the practice run today. The trials were male over the course in Little Rerouc Bay, which will be used for the dive tests to be held later. The vessel was recently over hauled. and during the run of today showed a considerable increase of speed. The new diving apparatus for operating the steering engines worked successfully, the boat getting under water and com pletely out of sight in quick time. Be side diving, running on the surface and under water for a length of time, tor pedo practice was indulged in. The Whitehead torpedo was used, similar :u design to those used oil the smaller ves sels of the United States Navy. Snffi dent air was stored in tin' air chamber of the torpedo to give it a radius of action of about 500 yards. The trial was in sending the boat ovet a mile course submerged, at the end of which it came to the surface and the torpedo was discharged from the tube, which is about . five feet below the surface of the water. The run under the water was made in ulMtut ten minutes. The torpedo was successfully discharged from the tube, but owing to what is thought to have been a disarrangement of some of the mechanism the torpedo, instead of taking a straight course took a down ward turu and the volume of muddy water sent up showed that it struck the bottom about fifty feet from the bow of the boat.
